Twins Continue Hot Streak, Make History in Win Against Guardians
The three-game series between the Cleveland Guardians and the Minnesota Twins has been a strange one, to say the least.
In a make-up game delayed from the night of Monday, May 19, due to inclement weather, the Guardians and Twins resumed the same game on Wednesday.

As the bad weather persisted into Tuesday, that game was also rescheduled to Wednesday afternoon and started just 30 minutes after the conclusion of the resumed game.
With all of this being said, the conclusion of the first make-up game had an exciting ending with some history that was made.

Twins win 10 straight home games for the first time in their new stadium's history.
In a tie game that headed into the ninth inning, Twins' second baseman Kody Clemens hit a double into center field that brought pinch-runner Ryan Fitzgerald home from second.
The walk-off double secured the win for the Twins and marked their 10th straight victory at home, a streak that began on April 25 against the Los Angeles Angels.

This 10-game win streak at home also became the longest win streak the Twins have put together since Target Field was opened at the beginning of the 2010 season.

It seems that the Twins have been able to find some winning baseball after a bad start to their 2025 season.
Just a month ago, Minnesota had a record of 7-15 and were struggling to put wins together.
Even without stars Carlos Correa and Byron Buxton, the Twins have gone 19-6 over their last 25 games and climbed to second place in the AL Central, trailing only the MLB-best Detroit Tigers.
Although there's a lot of season left, it seems that the Twins have found their rhythm and will look to continue to win games.

Minnesota will look to find their way into the postseason this year after failing to do so in the 2024 season.
